Sebi amends 'fit and proper' rule governing market intermediaries

Markets regulator Sebi has amended the 'fit and proper person' framework for market intermediaries, removing the automatic disqualification triggered by mere filing of criminal complaints, FIRs, or charge sheets in economic offence cases.
